Primary oligodendroglioma of the lateral ventricle

20149

Oligodendrogliomas rarely occur primarily in the ventricular system. They are presented distinct clinical features when compared to more common hemispheric counterparts. We have reported a case of primary oligodendroglioma in the left lateral ventricle. The tumor was partially resected, a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was placed, and the patient had postoperative radiation therapy. Oligodendrogliomas of the lateral ventricle are rare but should be included in the differential diagnosis of intraventricular tumors.
